Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:3824-1 advisory.

- A out of bounds read was discovered in H5VM_memcpyvv in H5VM.c in the HDF HDF5 1.10.2 library. It could allow a remote denial of service or information disclosure attack. (CVE-2018-11205)

- An issue was discovered in the HDF HDF5 1.8.20 library. There is an out of bounds read in the function H5F__accum_read in H5Faccum.c. (CVE-2018-13867)

- An issue was discovered in the HDF HDF5 1.8.20 library. There is a heap-based buffer over-read in the function H5T_copy in H5T.c. (CVE-2018-14031)

- An issue was discovered in the HDF HDF5 1.8.20 library. There is an out of bounds read in H5L_extern_query at H5Lexternal.c. (CVE-2018-16438)

- An issue was discovered in the HDF HDF5 1.10.3 library. There is a stack-based buffer overflow in the function H5S_extent_get_dims() in H5S.c. Specifically, this issue occurs while converting an HDF5 file to a GIF file. (CVE-2018-17439)

- A buffer overflow in H5O__layout_encode in H5Olayout.c in the HDF HDF5 through 1.10.4 library allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted HDF5 file. This issue was triggered while repacking an HDF5 file, aka Invalid write of size 2. (CVE-2019-8396)

- An issue was discovered in HDF5 through 1.12.0. A NULL pointer dereference exists in the function H5F_get_nrefs() located in H5Fquery.c. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service. (CVE-2020-10812)

- A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in HDF5 1.13.1-1 via H5F_addr_decode_len in /hdf5/src/H5Fint.c, which could cause a Denial of Service. (CVE-2021-45830)

- A Stack-based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability exists in HDF5 1.13.1-1 via the H5D__create_chunk_file_map_hyper function in /hdf5/src/H5Dchunk.c, which causes a Denial of Service (context-dependent). (CVE-2021-45833)

- HDF5 v1.13.1-1 was discovered to contain a heap-use-after free via the component H5AC_unpin_entry.
(CVE-2021-46242)

- A Divide By Zero vulnerability exists in HDF5 v1.13.1-1 vis the function H5T__complete_copy () at /hdf5/src/H5T.c. This vulnerability causes an aritmetic exception, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS).
(CVE-2021-46244)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
